How can students save?

Both of these companies currently promise to keep prices the same and what’s more, they don’t charge a cancellation fee if you find a cheaper supplier or simply want to cancel your energy contract at the end of your tenancy (great for students with a 9 month lease).

To add to this, EDF will even tell customers if there is a cheaper tariff on the market!

Be warned that both of these companies may pull their fixed tariffs so act quickly to save up to £300+.

What if you already have a contract?

Many students may already have a contract that they set up in July (when their tenancy started) or maybe even just went with a company that the previous tenants were with.

It is definitely advised that you switch to a company like Scottish Power or EDF in order to fix your costs this winter. You may be charged around £50 to cancel your current contract but the savings that you can make as a student household could easily outweigh this.
